Beginners Class 2

[leon87]

For the students who forgot the plan, and went to the classrom, they would find the door locked, and a note on the front of it reading :

Class being held by Walker Lake

Down by the lake, Leon Arrondus was seated on a rock, waiting for his students to arrive. Today they would be studying Bowtruckles up close, and he had several there, in a magically grown bush. After a few questions, the kids would get hands-on time with the creatures, before the next half of the lesson began.

The young man was quite nervous, as ever, but especially concerning this was a special class... Instead of hearing about a creature, they would see and touch one. He felt sure nothing would go wrong, as he planned to watch and help every step of the way. But still... He couldn't help worrying slightly.

((72 hours to arrive))

Aaryn had missed the first class and the TA hadn't shown up at his office when she had tried to get a make-up lesson [*cough*] so this was her first COMC class. She walked to the classroom door and found that it was locked. Then she saw a small note saying Class being held by Walker Lade. She smiled slightly. Then she left the castle and headed down towards the lake and to her first lesson.

When she reached the lake she found she was the first person there. This was surprising. She nodded to the teacher. "'ello," she said cheerfully. She wasn't sure what to do as the teacher was seated on the only rock so she just kind of sat down about in front of him. Of course, not directly in front of him, a little ways away.

Gah! How did Melissa not remember that the Care of Magical Creatures class was at Walker Lake? She must have read the schedule about fifty million times, but frankly, she just didn't pay attention. When she found herself in front of the locked door of the classroom, with a sign that read:

Class being held by Walker Lake

That meant Melissa was just plain careless. Eh, go figure. There was probably just way too much on her mind at the moment, and she really didn't read between the fine print. Either way, she had to make her way to the lake region. And off she went, limp by limp, over to the lake.

When she made her way out of the castle, she didn't have a clue in the world. Sure, she had only been out of the castle a couple of times before. Once last term, on the dock; and then earlier in this term, on the Quidditch Pitch with a bunch of people she had never met before. So unless she was forced to get into the water, she'd be fine and dandy.

Finally, the Ravenclaw completed her trek to the lake. There, next to a bush, was the teacher, with Aaryn sitting at some distance from him. "Hello," she said, carefully sitting a couple feet away from both the teacher and the Slytherin. She did indeed remove some parchment and a quill from her bag, which would still be on her person for the duration of the lesson.

[leon87]

((I have replied to that office thread now, Miss Saeumi, sorry for the delay...))

Leon looked up as two students approached. He rose and gave them both smiles.
"Hello to you both as well," he said. "I hope you don't mind sitting on the ground, but the grass is soft and dry, and there are no bugs that I could find." He chuckled. "Lovely day for an outdoor class, too." Leon was rambling and he knew it, so he shut up at last, and sat back on his rock.

[mattias]

Mattias had walked to the door of the Classroom, only to find a note stuck upon it. Chewing on his lower lip. he turned on his foot, heading towards the Walker Lake. He had forgotten what their Teacher had said Last Lesson. It surprised him that he forgot, but there were other things on his mind as well. Merely shrugging, he left the Castle, walking to the Lake, where Leon and two students ( whom he knew ) were.

"Morning," he said to the three of them, sitting with Aaryn and Melissa. "Hey you two. Haven't seen you in a while. How are both?" He sat cross legs in front of them, awaiting their reply.

[Kali Rune]

Kali walked towards COMC. This would be her second class. Ever. Of that class. This was her first year taking that and she was prepared for whatever today's lesson was. Obviously when she got there, they wouldn't be doing their work inside the classroom. Instead, they would be spending the day at the lake [according to the note at least].

The Slytherin changed her direction and headed for the lake. The lake would be a rather nice place to spend the lesson in. There were people there already and the Slytherin walked slowly and seated herself on the ground not very far from them. She doesn't really enjoy 'fronts seats' if you call them when she's in class.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

It was her first day back, and she wasn't even on a full day so Lizzy had just barely gotten the message to go to Walker lake for the lesson. Walking down the grounds she smiled and was totally happy to be back.

Before she left she had notified all her teachers that she'd be missing the second class most likely, but she got back early so to her T.A.'s and professor's surprise she showed up in classes. Arriving at the lake she smiled and sat down next to Kali. "Hey." she said taking out parchment, ink, and quill for notes.

[Kali Rune]

What were they going to do in class today? The Slytherin had no clue whatsoever. She would know though, as soon as they were told what they would be learning about today. It might be...nice or something and she could actually learn about magical creatures.

"Hey" Kali looked to see Jade. "Hey!" Kali said to her. The Slytherin hadn't seen her friend in a while. The last time? The clocktower probably. And where was Lilly? She hadn't seen her either. "How's it going?" she asked Jade.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy smiled over at Kali. She hadn't seen her since they were in the clocktower.{{btw sorry I haven't posted there}} "It's good. Just got back from a little vacation to Canada. What about you?" she asked glancing around wondering why the class wasn't starting.

[ack short and suckish]

[Kali Rune]

Kali nodded. "That's nice. Have fun?" she asked Jade. She definately think that it was nice to go for a little vacation, although she must say that school wasn't that bad. I mean, there are things you could do at school, places to go. The only problem was thinking about what to do and what to talk about when you actually find a place. That's the usual problem, at least that's what with Kali.


"I haven't done much to be honest. I need to think of something to do" she told her. Yep. Kali needed to do more exploring although she had done a bunch already. She'd been to a couple places already since the term started but not on the maze though. The Slytherin hadn't even planned on going there, alone at least. They had went there with the class.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy nodded grinning, "Ooh very much so. Thank you. The northern lights were just spectacular!" she said happily. Yes her little vacation left her in the most wonderful of moods. Now that she was back though she wanted to know if Brad had showed up yet. Either way she wasn't complaining.

Lizzy laughed at Kali's response. "Hey we could go on some more adventures." she offered remembering the many things they had done. Like the lost trails in the forest, clocktower in the middle of the night, and best of all the odd room in the dungeons.

[Kali Rune]

Kali smirked by the mention of 'more adventures' She was sure that they could find something fun to do. Maybe do a little mischief or something but no one needs to know that right? She doesn't know though what they would do. Go back to the forest? The trails or something? Maybe she would finally find someone to scare instead of them scaring her.

"And i think i need more pratice on the scaring subject too..." Kali said as she looked around to see what everyone else were doing. Good, the class hasn't started yet and it doesn't look like it will anytime soon either.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy giggled, "Yes that subject you do need help on. Though you could use some practice on not being scared so easily." she said grinning. It was just a joke, and she knew Kali would know she was just kidding around. Even if it was true.

Sighing she dipped her quill into her ink well and started sketching a bit on her parchment as she talked to Kali. She really wanted class to start, but she would just have to wait. Though she would like even more to change out of her robes and sit on the sunny lawns all day, but that wasn't an option either so she just settled with sketching and talking with Kali.

[chloiewhite]

Chloie walked happily toward the lake. She was surprised that she had remembered class would be at the lake. It seemed pretty exciting and probably meant they would be interacting with some more creatures.

Last class was nice...Those salamanders were pretty awesome; too bad they don't make good pets. I wonder what the T.A. has planned for today. What was his name again? Um...oh yeah, Mr. Arrondus. It is such a nice day out.

She stopped walking for a second and closed her eyes, feeling the light breeze against her face. Opening her eyes and smiling, she continued to walk to where she could now see her classmates and Mr. Arrondus sitting. As the second year approached them, she found a tree and leaned against it, sliding down until she was sitting.

[leon87]

Leon smiled at the new arrivals.
"Mr. Leonheart, Miss Rune, Miss Silvernacle, Miss White," he said, nodding. "Glad you made it." He was still missing a few, but there was still time. They weren't late as of yet.

((Class starts tomorrow...))

[fin]

Fin wandered out to the lake, wondering idly what the class would feature today. He wasn't comfortable out here under the bright sun like this, but he had no choice, if he didn't want to fail. Sighing, he sat down a good distance from the others on the ground.

[persephone]

Persephone walked to class with a huge stack of books cradled in her arms. As soon as she reached her destination, she set them down with a "thud" and sat down.
'I hope class today is fun' She thought.
She closed her eyes for a moment and began to daydream...

[scrubb]

Scrubb hurried out to the lake, after walking all the way to the class room first. He'd forgotten, and now was rushing. Just as he reached the gathering by the lake, he tripped, and fell on his face. His book bag flew through the air, and landed several feet away. Scrubb raised his head slowly, and blinked.

"Argh..."

[Kali Rune]

Kali made a face at Jade then laughed. It was true though, she does need practice. The last time she got scared was a couple of days ago. She wouldn't exactly call it being scared. She more likely to call it being surprised because well...she wouldn't just want to say that she got scared.

The Slytherin looked around her. Class would be starting soon and she knew it. She took out her quill and paper then looked around. She only knew one other person that just entered. Fin. Kali waved at him, just to say hi.

[fin]

Fin noticed the young Gryffie boy approaching, but wasn't particularly interested. The former teacher's pet was not one of his favorite people. But, just then, the boy tripped and fell on his face. His book bag landed right beside Fin. The Slytherin started to smirk, but something made him get up.

Going over to the boy, taking the book bag with him. He leaned down and grabbed Eustace by the back of his robes and hauled him to his feet.
"Here," he mumbled, handing him the book bag. "Don't be such a clutz next time."

Fin tunred to go back to his spot, when he saw Kali wave at him. A small smile flickered onto his expression, and he returned the wave. He then flopped back down in the grass a few feet from where Eustace was now standing. He wasn't friendly, this Fin guy... But he wasn't what most people thought he was either.
